    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing virtual assays of an oil sample such as crude oil based on laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy carried out on the oil sample, and the density of the oil sample. The virtual assay provides a full range of information about fractions of the oil sample including naphtha, gas oil, vacuum gas oil, vacuum residue, and other information about the properties of the oil sample. Using the system and method herein, the virtual assay data pertaining to these several fractions of the oil sample and the oil sample itself are obtained without fractionation of the oil sample into the several components.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for examining a material are provided. One example method generally includes disposing the material in a dielectric contrast analysis structure, wherein the dielectric contrast analysis structure comprises a bulk dielectric substance and a plurality of receptacles in the bulk dielectric substance, wherein the material is disposed in one or more of the plurality of receptacles; exposing the dielectric contrast analysis structure to incident electromagnetic radiation; detecting resultant radiation from the exposed dielectric contrast analysis structure; and analyzing the detected resultant radiation to estimate at least one of a phase fraction and a phase distribution in the material. One example system generally includes an electromagnetic radiation source; a dielectric contrast analysis structure comprising a bulk dielectric substance and a plurality of receptacles in the bulk dielectric substance for receiving the material; and an electromagnetic radiation detector, wherein the analysis structure is between the radiation source and the detector.
